#1 Summer Scale Back

Post by Megacruncher »

The imminent move of my farm to the bowels of the earth, or to what a future estate agent may well style as "a sub-lower garden level office/recreational room", combined with the summer hols & associated comings & goings means that at least some of my PCs will be switched off for the next week or two.

Worry not, by very early August everything will be back on, then come the first chill of Autumn... expect... upgrades. :twisted:

That's it, my underground howff is built but mid flitting the farm is in bits and largly off line. All that's still working is an E6600 (with a non Boincing GPU) and a Q6600 with a GTX 260, so if over the next week if I beat 4 digits per day I'll consider myself prolific.

After that I'll hopefully get it all rebuilt and crunching up a storm

I've scaled back for now. The electricity bills started to catch up with me. Or should I say getting huge sums of cash to put on the key did. It makes it very real that wayrather than a direct debit lol.

Autumn scale up time. :D
The nights are getting chilly & some underfloor heating won't go amiss.
I've added the HD4850 already and the i7 920. I've a buckshee Q6600 and a spare board that might get together with another 260GTX which is on order.
Oh, Yes!
